What's wrong with your Chinese Valentine's Eve

Your Chinese Valentine's Eve may be fake! More than 5200 boxes of fake dove are sold to more than 20 provinces and cities: cheap raw materials and dirty production environment. In January this year, police in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, received a report that someone was selling fake and shoddy Dove chocolate.

Your Chinese Valentine's Eve may be fake. Why
Some time ago, the police cracked a case of selling fake chocolate. The environment for making chocolate on the spot was very bad.
On June 28, Nanhu District Public Security Bureau of Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province found a case involving 28 million yuan in the manufacture and sale of fake Dove chocolate. At present, all 11 people involved in the case are subject to criminal coercive measures. Among them, the person involved in the case, Li Mou, was jailed for fraud, and was arrested on the day of his release from prison for the case.
In late January this year, Mars food (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd. reported to the Nanhu District Public Security Bureau of Jiaxing city that the wholesale price of a certain specification of Dove chocolate market of the company was basically maintained at about 800 yuan / box, but the sales price of an online store was 600 yuan / box, with a huge price difference. It is confirmed by the company that the De Fu chocolate sold by the online store is a fake product of the company. The company also provided the police with information about the online stores involved.
How to distinguish true chocolate from false chocolate
1. The product label is an important means for us to identify the true and false. Many people will know whether the label is true or false as soon as they see it. Next, I will tell you how to identify it from the label. There is no line decoration on the authentic label, and the letters on it look thick. The fake label usually has a red circle like the one in the picture, so the text on it will be much smaller and the difference will come out in a flash.
2. After opening the package, we can see that the similarity of the internal chocolate is not generally high. If I don't know which is true and which is fake, I can't even tell. However, in the process of trial eating, the taste of fake products was sold. The nuts in the real Ferrero chocolate tasted delicious, and the chocolate was silky and smooth, which was delicious. The chocolate outside the fakes is sweet and greasy, completely covering the flavor of the nuts, and the taste is far from each other.
3. After identifying the internal differences, there are actually different places in the packaging paper that we ignore. The genuine packaging paper is large, and the label is almost in the center. But the fake packaging paper is smaller. Is it to save cost? A small piece of paper has to be calculated. It seems that the counterfeiter has really calculated to the extreme. In addition, we see that the position of the fake label is also biased, obviously the workmanship is not very fine.
4. When purchasing chocolate products, see the packaging clearly. The first is the product name. Some manufacturers design the outer packaging with large font and eye-catching color of "chocolate", while the font of "cocoa butter substitute" is small, thus confusing consumers. Next is the product ingredient list. If cocoa butter is not indicated in the ingredient list, and cocoa butter substitute is indicated, it cannot be called chocolate.
5. When you put the two products in sealed food bags and compare their fragrance, you can clearly compare the two completely different. The cocoa fragrance of real chocolate is a very low fragrance with light bitter taste, which is persistent and strong, while the fragrance with cocoa butter chocolate is a kind of floating and candy fragrance.
6. Real chocolate melts slowly in the mouth. The melting process gives people a pleasant feeling. There is no greasy feeling. After the melting, the fragrance of cocoa remains in the mouth. Cocoa butter chocolate melts quickly in the mouth. It feels greasy when it melts. After melting, there is no residual cocoa fragrance in the mouth. If you can eat these two kinds of chocolate at the same time, and rinse your mouth with water in the middle of eating, you can more obviously feel the difference between them.
